The company was founded in 1891 in the town Lund, close to Horsens, by Martinus Nielsen. The present majority shareholder, Per Nielsen, is the fourth generation in the family-owned company.
Throughout most of the 20th century the company was a traditional smithy. In the beginning of the 1970s Lund Maskinfabrik started to make chip removing in curve controlled automatic lathes and since the beginning of the 1980s this has been our main activity.
